AFSCME District Council 47

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly.

Our message to the Trump administration is clear: Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. And put working people first. #StopTheTrumpShutdown . #philly #union AFSCME

Anti-union extremists in Congress refused to address massive cuts to health care and rising costs, resulting in a government shutdown – all so they could hand out even more tax breaks to billionaires and greedy corporations. This shutdown will directly threaten AFSCME members’ jobs as states & cities lose even more federal funding and as the administration threatens to illegally fire federal workers. Take action now. Call Congress. Demand they lower health care costs, protect federal workers and end this devastating shutdown by funding public services.

We’re proud to announce that tentative agreements have been reached between AFSCME and the First Judicial District, as well as AFSCME and the City of Philadelphia—simultaneously! For the first time in our Union’s history, Locals 2186 and 810 came together for joint negotiations with both the City and the FJD at the same table. This historic collaboration allowed us to reach agreements on both economic and non-economic terms at the same time, a major achievement. These deals have traditionally been finalized weeks or months apart. The combined strength of our Locals has resulted in comprehensive employment packages that reflect the power of Union solidarity. Local 810 & 2186 FJD Members: Please see your e-mail for TA details & stay tuned for contract ratification details.

Working people are doing everything they can to get ahead, but the rising cost of health care is creating a crisis. Congress cut billions in funding for health care that will burden workers with skyrocketing costs and force hospitals and health centers to close – making our communities sicker. Nearly 22 million Americans rely on premium tax credits through the Affordable Care Act marketplace to afford their health insurance. And millions more receive care thanks to Disproportionate Share Hospitals that serve low-income families. Without action from Congress, those tax credits will expire and critical funding for these hospitals will be lost, because Congress handed billionaires even more tax breaks through the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.” If Congress doesn’t extend the ACA tax credits and restore funding to Disproportionate Share Hospitals (DSH): * 4.2 million families will be forced to drop coverage * Millions will face an average 75% increase in health insurance premiums * Well over 130,000 jobs could be lost – including AFSCME member jobs * Nursing homes and health clinics would be forced to cut services or even close * Rural hospitals will lose funding and could drastically reduce care or shut their doors Take action: link in bio or: https://lnkd.in/es4nkTVg

4.2 million families will be kicked off their health care unless Congress acts fast to extend ACA premium tax credits. These tax credits help working families afford critical care. We already face a cost-of-living crisis. Without this support, our communities will grow sicker, and everyone will see health care price hikes. Congress should be working to lower health care costs, not drive them higher. Join your fellow AFSCME members in telling Congress to lower health care costs! Link in bio. . #philly #union AFSCME
